Love how you make the color pop! Got to try that someday. About the line, do you also use color pencil or is it some type of marker? It's captivating

Aww thank you! Your art style looks really neat as well! :D
For my smaller drawings like my badges, I used two different kinds of black ink pens/markers such as Pigma Micron 05 which has a fine line, and Sakura Pigma Sensei 10 which is thicker. I would like to find better black ink to use though because the fine liner especially dries up a lot while using it. My colored pencil art is too waxy for it or something ;o;
Otherwise, all the art with the colored lines I just use colored pencils. ^u^ I do a pencil sketch first and even though it's a pain in the butt, inch by inch I erase the pencil and replace it with colored lines. I do touch-ups to the lines after I have filled in the color for the main part of the drawing, to make them cleaner and bolder~

I have the same problem with the ink too, couldn't make it work with color pencil, that's why i uses nib pen though. Your technique on the colored lines is so good, no wonder how well it works, but that must be hard, i can feels the pain too just imagine how you did it. 
Thank you for the tip ^^

I'm fairly new with color pencils. I have a Bruynzeel design set; they're fairly soft pencils, but not so soft that they smudge terribly. So yeah, two of these drawings were practices/tests. xD I intend to work with them a lot more, though! :)
